A Letter to Those in a Long-Distance College Relationship

In This Article:

To Whom it May Concern,

I'd like to start by introducing myself. My name is Greg, we probably do not know each other, and we likely never will. This is of no importance, however; I already know enough about you, and you already know enough about me. I am in a long-distance college relationship, and if you are too, then I am happy to say we are both addicted to the same drug

I know the highs that you get when you see your significant other. We are on first name bases with the butterflies in our stomachs when we see them walk off that train and run into our arms. Like lions, we know the pride of showing our loved ones off to all of our friends whom we brag about our relationships to. We have no choice but to savor every moment of the short time we can spend together.

Unfortunately, we also experience the same crash. We have fast-passes for the roller coaster that is our emotional well-being; we know every twist and turn but yet the feelings are always as strong as the first time we rode it. We all attend the same rehab when our loved ones leave, we all seek the same treatment for our confused hearts.

I am here to not only remind of you how courageous and strong-willed you are for enduring this journey with your loved one, but to offer the testimonial of other couples who have experienced what you are experiencing. You are not alone. At the end of the day, week, month, or whenever you see your loved one next, you will be reminded of why you are choosing to ride the coaster, why you are so addicted to this powerful drug. We know how quickly the bad memories of the time spent apart melt away when we see our loved ones. And that makes it all worth it.

My utmost respect and admiration to you and your loved one.

Sincerely,

Greg

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
